« Previous EntriesI fell in love last night……
Saturday, November 15th, 2008I was with the Hubs on a date at a high end location and my attention all night (sad to say) was not on him. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Hubs more than anything else in the world, but there, right in front of me, amidst fabulous food and gay men, were the […]
Cost of living in Bahrain
Friday, October 3rd, 2008
Tee in Bahrain, 2007 - as she was the only kid in the entire hotel, she could basically do whatever the hell she wanted. Get her way with all the hotel staff, anything at all…..and more!
I need your help. Can anyone help me with the associated costs of living in Bahrain? I am working […]
Tee knows how to make money!
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008Paper money, that is. And she also knows how to ask me for money every time she hears a swear word out of my mouth. Hrmph….
Yesterday, I attempted to teach Tee about money. Now the only reason it appears that I am such a good mom spending quality time with her and all that is […]
As I bid farewell……
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008To someone I thought was a friend, I am renewing my life and moving on. You’re certainly one friend I don’t need. Who needs enemies when you have friends like you?
For a whole year, I kept you by my side. I worked so hard to keep you, feed you, talk to you, listen to you […]
Getting out of credit card debt
Thursday, October 18th, 2007I hope this will help those of you with large credit card bills because we had a credit card bill of more than 50k once upon a time and managed to get out of it.
Firstly, STOP using your credit cards. Throw them away. Cut them up. Force yourself to be disciplined about cash. Then do […]
How many credit cards do you have?
Friday, October 5th, 2007I have three but I only use one. One for gaining access into the lounges at airports, one for emergencies and one for our day-to-day use. Which should also really be classified as ‘for most dire circumstances when cash becomes invisible in wallet’. I’m not much of a credit card person because I personally prefer […]
Respect for blogging moms who just want to earn an income
Friday, October 5th, 2007That’s right. I take my hat off to you. All of you out there who’re doing it.
I’ve only just started these last two months and it is darn difficult. Firstly, you have to be up till the wee hours of the morning to catch more opportunities of paid posts. If you’re not, the whole world […]
Family feuds where there is wealth
Friday, October 5th, 2007At my wedding, there were no representatives from the Hubs family apart from his parents and siblings.
Despite the fact that my father-in-law (FIL) had ten other siblings, a family feud broke up any form of contact many years ago. My FIL had put all his ten younger siblings through school and university but at the […]
I have since removed my gold arms……
Friday, October 5th, 2007Yes, I knew it wasn’t going to last. Who me? Jewellery? It’s just not me…..plus as a full-time hands-on Mother, I’d only be asking to scratch myself and baby all over with sharp objects. Sadists. Think Angelina Jolie in that movie…..what’ it called? Not Single White Female but…..? Darn, my memory is just non-existent ever […]
Hey, hey!! Hear all!! Wanna make USD25???
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007I certainly do. And I’d go straight to Suasana Spa in Ampang for the best massage in the world. Do you know how far that is for me to go to a spa when there are so many spas near where I live? Trust me, I do it because it is all worth it. It is […]
Supermarket from my bed
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007When I was younger, I remember standing at the back of those shopping carts whenever we went grocery shopping. Did you do that? Tee tries to do that now but her height doesn’t make it work quite so efficiently so I ban her from it. The last thing I need on a high speed grocery […]
Love affair with all things sweet
Saturday, September 29th, 2007I think my mother felt a deep bitterness when I was born. As such, drank condensed milk whilst she was pregnant, and fed me everything sweet after. It could’ve been the perpetual PMS. She then says I lost ALL (well, most….) my teeth when I was three because it was her fault. And what does she do now? […]
A man I truly respect
Thursday, September 27th, 2007Have you heard of Ananda Krishnan? Well, it’s not him. But there is someone in town known as ‘the other’ AK or ‘the other’ Krishnan. He is non other than the owner of Eversendai Corporation. Look him up. He is one of the most humblest and most polite gentleman I’ve ever come across and he is very loaded. […]
Talk about efficiency. Thank you, JoMel!
Monday, September 24th, 2007Since my last post about family insurance plans, the lovely JoMel has responded rather promptly and at length to my genuine query. Now I’m not so quick to commit myself into the Education/Insurance plan for Tee. But having said that, I do like the coverage for insurance that she’d get with it. I mean, you […]
Blogsvertise
Monday, September 24th, 2007I signed up with a new advertiser today called Blogsvertise. What is cool about them, apart from the obvious, is that they approved my blog not only instantly, but delivered my first assignment within 10 minutes of signing up!!!
How unlike some othere advertisers who have a standing requirement that your blog needs to be 90 […]
Our children’s future
Monday, September 24th, 2007Last week, a friend and I went over to another friend’s place to hear him pitch a children’s education stroke insurance fund for Tee. He has been a friend since University days and I’ve known his family even before, so trusting this guy implicitly was as easy as eating cake.
He explained thoroughly what the fund was and it sounded […]
Me and my research habits
Friday, September 21st, 2007Whenever I am about to make a purchase, I usually burn the midnight oil for days on end researching the lucky product before parting with my hard earned cash. I’d draw up spreadsheets to analyse at a glance where my value was. In detail.
Like Tee’s school, for example. I’d visited 15 schools in my area […]
Making Money from my blog
Friday, September 21st, 2007I made USD150 in a day between yesterday and today. It also meant only 3 hours of sleep.
Now I know why all the Moms are doing this.
Now I’m getting even more excited about blogging.
Of course, I won’t be making USD150 everyday. But Hey!!! It’s USD150 I didn’t have!!!
Thank you to those of you who brought […]
